View Full Version : TFF Dream Team Competition Roland Garros 2012
Entries are now open for the TFF Dream Team comp for RG.
If you've entered before, you need to re-register in order to play (they set it up anew for each slam).
For those who haven't entered before, 'Tennis For Free' run this competition in the hope of raising funds. You can, if you wish, donate to Tennis For Free when selecting your Dream Team but it's not compulsory. The website is here: http://www.tffdreamteam.com/frenchopen/index.php
You have to register and then pick your teams for both the men's and women's singles. Only once you have picked your teams does it give you the opportunity to join a group. I've set up our group as Andy Murray Fan Forum and the password is 5afe245d5ba70b401691d3eab9b90756. I'm sorry that this password is so long but I didn't choose it, they allocate it to us. I suggest copying and pasting it when joining the group.
It's very easy to pick your teams and they can be changed up until the start of play.
For everyone who enters and joins our group, the men's dream team only counts towards our Champion of Champions.
Entries close Sunday at 10.00am.

Didn't get round to doing this comp for RG - just too busy over the weekend.
I'm not doing today's update just yet as there are still some ladies' matches playing, but in the meanwhile great news on the men's table! Three of our group are on the main leaderboard for the men's table! Smidster's Clay Courters is joint no.1 (with only 1 other player) (brilliant :clap: :clap:), Linda is joint no.20 and cazzascatch is joint no.52! Aren't we a talented lot! :)
very impressive you lot :clap::clap:
Thank goodness the women's team doesn't count for CoC.

It doesn't? Fantastic :D
Linda : 2nd + 9th = 2nd overall
Me : 7th + 4th = 8th overall
Seems harsh
You get more points in the men's though as they play more sets.

So does just mens table get you points for COC? And what positions qualify you for points for COC? Top 8?
It's just the men's table, and I think it's the top 10 that get points for CoC (J can confirm that).

Cool I presume some of the entries in that table aren't members of this forum either?
No, some of them are CC members and not members on here so won't get points for CoC.
Mathieu has certainly been good value for money - he was one of the cheapest players and he has just won 39 games in one match :yahoo:
Well done Linda. 5th overall in the men's table :clap:
Down to 13th now. Mathieu has certainly been good value for money - he's my highest scoring player! I guess everyone that had either Mathieu or Isner did well today. Anyone who had both would have done brilliantly!

Sadly, we've all dropped a bit. None of us is on the main leaderboard now. :sad:

Sharp contrast between my mens team performances and womens. In fact I have no women left in my team :facepalm:
Pretty similar for me, Dave. :sad: But then, who can predict the women? When they all seem to play an 'excuse-me' please break my serve!

Really is such a fine line in this. If either JMDP and Tsonga had both won I'd probably be looking at finishing first in the mens. Now I'll probably be looking at top 6 at best if I'm lucky.
Congratz Smidster, Linda and Team Gold!

My apologies - I didn't think of posting the new table last night, but this morning I've realised that although there is no movement in the men's table some of you might be interested in the women's table!

My men's team is 21st overall :) but my women's team is 211th! :rolling:

I hope I can hold on to a top 6 finish. Currently 4th and I only have Nadal left and others will probably still have Nole.

Well done Karanga for triumphing overall. Great stuff Linda for winning the mens and DarkSliders for the women.
Pleased that I finished 5th in the mens.
Well done Linda and Dark Siders for heading the men's and women's tables. :swingin: :clap:

Can't seem to log in.... is this one separately run from RG so you have to make a new account for Wimbly?

I think they do them separately and you have to reregister.

I have a created a group for members of this forum . Password to join is :
f3024b04f4ec1c1f6d5fce3c2fcfaf9e
Just copy and paste it in.

Anyone tried to join the group I set up? Let me know if the code works ;)
Thanks Dave - I just logged on to do that so you've saved me the trouble! We need to start a new thread for it though so that the instructions are in post#1. You can't join a group until you've picked all your selections - at least you never used to be able to. I previously made a random selection so that I could set up the group, and then amended my selection later. Is that what you did?

I actually picked my team. I will probably edit though once the draw is out.... Did you manage to join the group I set up?
Shall I start a separate thread?
We do need a separate thread. If you want to start it, you can copy the first post from this one and just edit it to say Wimbledon and the new password.
I haven't tried to join the group yet because I haven't chosen my players, but I'm sure it'll be fine - we've never had any problem before.
Well done to Karanga, Linda and Dark Siders! :yahoo:
It's a real awkward site to make selections on, each time you select a player it wants to refresh the whole page so you lose where you were on the list. If you hold down Ctrl while you select you can select them all at once (it opens up 10 new unecessary tabs, but just close them down again after)
